Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Cheapo but essential release of "Ekseption '78".......2001-12-16

Ekseption suffer from the Mozart syndrome, meaning some of their music is so well crafted that it sounds weightless and easy to accomplish. Well, it isn't - as proven by the many who tried to repeat after them. Admittedly, at times Ekseption sound unbelievably cheesy, but then again the gems more than make up for it.

Despite what CNR hope you will think, this CD does not contain one hit. It is in fact the third CD release of the studio album "Ekseption '78", and also carrying the third misguiding title. However, despite its year of origin, probably giving some
Ekseption fans the chills, this is a release by the core line-up of Rick van der Linden, Rein van den Broek, Dick Remelink, Cor Dekker and Peter de Leeuwe. It even contains "Jesu Joy", a track from their heyday years that was released on single in '72 but didn't make it to the album "Ekseption 5".
Partially misguided by the cheesiest of album covers (the band dressed in Liberace white with cape!), at the time I thought this to be a weak album, but it grew on me. I now rate this among their very best albums. Sometimes cheesy, as always, and sometimes highly original, well-crafted and... rocking! Highlight: Lalo Schifrin's "The Cat".
This stuff is very under-represented on the many collection CDs, so if you're a fan: get this! If you have an interest in the hit side of this band, buy "Selected Ekseption" or "Air" instead.
